Is Ms.Koike the first woman ever to seek the premiership in Japan's history? Isn't it Ms.Doi? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.140.42.102 (talk) 11:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * More articulate description is, Ms. Koike is the first woman ever to seek the president of the LDP. Ms. Doi was the leader of the JSP(Japan Socialist Part) and later the SDP(Socialist Democratic party). Even JSP's peak time, the LDP enjoyed wide margin against JSP. So most of Japanese people never believed the possibility JSP would take the power. After 1990, JSP experienced continuous declining under her leadership. However, there is possibility that 'Ms. Koike is the first woman to seek the premiership in Japan' will be correct in future. For more detail, please see recent developments in Japanese political scene. -Kmk75s (talk) 06:23, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Why no mention or link that she is an Arabophile? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 240D:1A:8AF:4D00:55D8:9B25:7999:C70D (talk) 12:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Inadequate sources 'conservative nationalism' section
The text states that "As a conservative nationalist, she belonged to the Diet members' league to support the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform.[27][28]", but the archived version of source 27 seems to be inaccessible and source 28 does not seem to support that statement either. I've looked on her Japanese wikipedia page, and the 新しい歴史教科書をつくる会 isn't mentioned over there at all.

Furthermore, the source on her annual visits to Yasukuni is from 2006. If we want to keep that sentence in the article, a better source should be sought. Deviantdreamer (talk) 13:30, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Lead section
The third paragraph of the lead section of this article discusses (among other things) her reluctance to admit that the Kantō Massacre took place in 1923, but this detail seems unlikely to have had a significant impact on Koike's political career, and I cannot see a good reason to include it in the lead section of this article (given that the matter is already mentioned in the later part of this article, and other facts discussed in the lead section are much more important details that do seem to have had a significant impact on her political career). 2602:FC24:13:1:E4F7:9065:0:1 (talk) 06:25, 30 July 2023 (UTC)


 * For your point that there are other more important things that should discussed in the lead, I agree. But I don't think that means we should remove other things until those are included.
 * Why I think it merits inclusion: WP:LEAD. The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies.
 * The key debate is whether we consider it a prominent controversy. I think it is; if you google "yuriko koike controversy', article after article over a span of 6 years covers this issue. Will it affect her political career? Maybe, maybe not, but we judge notability based on coverage, and it's clearly regularly and thoroughly covered in multiple languages internationally.
 * I'll also add that speculating as to the impact on her political career borders on WP:OR.toobigtokale (talk) 21:19, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
